2 Members Planning Trip Together

[MouseOfCards]

If my sister, who has her own DVC membership, and I want to plan a trip together with both families, what's the best option? For example, if we wanted to share a 2BR together for 8 days, can we each book 4 days with our own membership, and have the reservations linked (is this possible in our case?) so that we don't have to change rooms mid-trip? We know we can transfer points from one membership into the other and book the entire reservation from one membership, but would this use up the 1 transfer limit for both memberships (which we would prefer not to do)? Any other options?

I'd just each book half the nights and have the reservations linked. As I understand it you'll both have to request they be linked, probably with a conference call.

Thanks. So you can link reservations made by 2 different members! But it requires a conference call with both members on the call? I cannot just call in with both mine and my sister's member information?

This is what I just did. My mom booked one night and we booked three nights. Still haven't called to link but was told we would both need to be on the phone.

And to follow up I called today to link them. Both parties had to be on the phone. Also the listing of people on the reservation have to be exactly the same in each and they must be in the same order (and same person as primary). Ours weren't but they fixed it over the phone before linking.

Thanks for the follow-up information. Very helpful!
